Figure 1 is a plan which prepared or w cast blocks of concrete or the like with the reenforcing mattresses embedded therein, are united together and the building up of the required structure in accordance with this invention, whilstFigures 2, 3 and 1 show separate blocks before unison.

In the assembling of pre-cast or prepare blocks as shown at Figure 1, the exposed or projecting portionsc, 'dsandgflb, of the mattress coils in the respective blocks illustrated. at Figures 2, 3 and l," are, intermeshed as at Figure 1, and a uniting rod k inserted as shown. Such united porshowing the manner in tions are then encased with concrete, cement or the like. For roof structures where the concreting of the exposed portions ofthe coils can be effected from the top the ends of the adjacent blocks are shaped as shown at the left hand side of Figure '1, but for wall structures where the concreting is elfectedfrom the sides, the ends of the blocks are shaped as shown at the right hand side of said figure.
